McGillicuddy: We have several world class police forces here, but they don't patrol our streets -- they are doormen for chickensh*t Congressmen and foreign diplomats. The rest of us get the MPD, when DC cops are not too busy directing ballpark traffic, running rolling roadblocks for VIP motorcades, and protecting the daily "Moms Against Bad Stuff" march.

For a city with strict gun laws and supposedly the best police force in the country....we sure have a lot of shootings and murders. Being non PC...the majority of the perps are Undereducated and Overthugged. Meaning that they think that the THUG life is all there is. I'd like to thank the parents,and mainstream media for spreading this. If you live the thug life, you die the thug life. Stop all the downloading.

As part of the bust, police seized two kilos of cocaine, 500 grams of crack cocaine, 147 pounds of marijuana, $140,000 in cash, and four firearms. Will the OTR scandals never stop?

Lanier has sure led to a lot of drug busts this year. Though that hasn't stopped the homicide rate from going through the roof...

Hi I'm actor Troy McClure. You might remember me from such DCist news features as 'Wmata Matters: Orange you glad you don't live in Arlington' and 'Man Arrests Cop: Another Night of Wacky Police Hijinx'.

Or them refusing to let you use their bathrooms. They want to watch you squirm with that great big swelling bladder.

Maybe the Metro kinkyness explains its employees opening doors in tunnels.

147 pounds of wacky tobacky?! according to my calculations, that would create a spliff roughly 2,047 feet long and result in many, many trips to Fatburger. did I mention that i have glaucoma?

You know, when I suggested that Metro could get a little "kinkier," that's not quite what I meant...
